Didn't know where else this would fit, so.... I got my JH started today. It ran very badly. It has Dellorto 45Es that have allegedly been rebuilt [to be fair, the parts I inspected were clean], however, it would only run on the accelerator pump. Stop pumping the pedal, engine dies. I inspected the plugs and they were fouled, so that is a no brainer for replacement and I pulled the distributor cap. I think I found the real problem. The ignition is an MSD triggered by points. But even that won't cut it when the points are covered in oil. HOPEFULLY, after I clean them I will have a better report. Anybody think I'm on the right track? I'm hesitant to blame carburetion when the ignition is questionable. But I still have the Zeniths as an insurance policy. If I'm in the wrong forum, please let me know....I'll move..
